In an interview
that aired Tuesday, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly directly
asked Donald Trump how he could attack Hillary Clinton's family
foundation while having been a major donor.

"Some of your opponents have said, 'Look, Donald Trump gave
$100,000 to this Clinton Foundation.' And you say?" O'Reilly
said.

Trump portrayed himself as a businessman who would give to
anybody to help his bottom line.

"Over the years I've been called a great businessman," Trump
said. "They just said in one of the articles that I'm a
world-class businessman."

"I got along with Democrats and liberals and Republicans and
conservatives," he added. "And they called me. And they loved me.
And if they wanted to have dinner, they'd call me. And whatever I
wanted, I got. I mean, that's part of being a successful
businessman."

O'Reilly suggested that Trump's donations might not have been
completely above board.

"So you bribed them?" the Fox host asked with a smile as he and
Trump talked over each other. "You bribed them? As a businessman,
you bribed them. You bribed them."

O'Reilly pointed out that one potential issue in the 2016 general
election was the Clinton Foundation. Some Republicans have
accused former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Democratic
presidential front-runner, of trading government favors for
contributions, though Clinton fiercely denies that suggestion.

"You gave $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation," O'Reilly said.
"Now she's in trouble ... So if you're the Republican nominee,
how can you attack her on that when she'll turn around and say,
'You gave me $100,000 to do what I did.'"

Trump dismissed the idea that he would have any trouble
criticizing Clinton on the topic. He also said he thought the
Clinton Foundation had less overhead at the time he contributed
to it.

"It's very easy. It's very easy," Trump said. "And I'll have to
tell you this: In all fairness, I thought that money was being
put to very good use. I assumed it was being put to — whether
it's Haiti, or all of the different things that I heard about — I
didn't know about the private airplane rides all over the place."

Trump added: "I got along with everybody, Bill. I got along with
everybody."

According to
the Clinton Foundation's website, Trump gave between $100,001
and $250,000 to the nonprofit. Trump told O'Reilly he would
"love" to have his money back.
